    Podcast - Acts 26:1-32 - From Persecution to Proclamation

    Link to Complete Bible Notes Summary - Acts 26 tells the story of Paul standing before powerful leaders and explaining why his life changed so dramatically. He describes how he once opposed the followers of Jesus, but a life-changing encounter caused him to completely change direction. Even while facing accusations and possible punishment, Paul speaks openly about what he believes and challenges those listening to consider the truth for themselves.

    Podcast - Acts 19:11-36 - The Gospel Is Affecting Business

We discuss how humility and courage are required to be a good leader, but are at times sorely lacking in this text.
